Wolfsburg vs. Freiburg: Match Prediction
Ralph Hasenhüttl's side is playing out the season. Wolfsburg is not threatened by relegation, and with the gap to sixth place and a challenging schedule remaining, a push for European competitions seems unrealistic. This realization appears to have set in within the team, which has been dropping points frequently. Even at home, Wolfsburg has failed to win in six league matches, despite facing relegation-threatened opponents four times in this span.
Freiburg has lost only two of their last 11 Bundesliga games (6 wins, 3 draws). At the end of the season, Julian Schuster's side is highly motivated by the prospect of a Champions League spot. Their strong away form, with their last Bundesliga away defeat dating back to mid-January, should aid them in this pursuit.
Additionally, Freiburg has avoided defeat against Wolfsburg in 10 of their last 13 league meetings (7 wins, 3 draws). This is another factor supporting the prediction: Freiburg to win or draw
